Rick Staton

Sir Richard Earl of Staton

Jouster

 

Rick is a police officer by day and a raving jouster by night.

He became an officer of the law way back in 1979 as a patrol driver. Then, in 1989, he transferred to the motorcycle division and has been riding ever since. When not on a motorcycle, Rick is on Horse Patrol (figures).

Rick started his career in performing by fencing at Redlands Fencing Center in Oklahoma City. There he met some interesting people that offered him a spot in the Royal Court of the Norman Faire in 1994-1995. Rick also co-founded a group called Glengarries Fine Arts Recreationists in 1996 with some friends he met while preforming in Norman.

In May 1997, the Glengarries performed in Muskogee and there he met Bryan. After he saw the jousting show, Rick was hooked and started jousting with Bryan that same year.

Rick is also an expert maker of chainmail and leather goods. He would be more than happy to show you some of his excellent work.

And as for Sir Richard Earl of Staton, no one knows for certain if Sir Richard stole his title or if he was granted it...
